The FA CUP Third Round Replays - 15/16 January *** Spoilers ***

Bolton... and Marvin Sordell scored 2 passed Sunderland. haha things going terribly for them, but I'd rather face Bolton than Sunderland so happy with that.
 
Off to fortress Griffin Park tomorrow for our replay against Southend with the winner meeting Chelsea at home in the next round. Although league is priority at the moment, with many bookmakers now making us favourites to go up, I can't deny how excited I am about the prospect of us playing Chelsea.

We never get big teams in the cup, and you have to go back to '87 I think when we played Liverpool. Since then we've had a smattering of games against average EPL sides, but nothing big.

First game in ages I've been genuinely nervous about :)

You got lucky.

;) :D
 
Pleased to see Orlandi doing well for you guys, though :)


He has looked a different class recently.

Already establishing himself as a bit of a favourite. He looks very comfortable on the ball, and whilst at first I questioned his effort, I have to admit I was totally wrong...he works really hard.
 
#mufc XI: Lindegaard, Rafael, Smalling, Jones, Buttner, Valencia, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, Chicharito, Rooney
SUBS: Amos, Ferdinand, Carrick, Scholes, Kagawa, Welbeck, van Persie.

OUCH!!!

Really not sure about Jones being a centre half (may well be a good one in the future but not currently)

The midfield looks quite light weight and not match fit

At least Rooney is playing (and Chicharito) but again at least one isnt fully fit

Could well be a painful 90 or so minutes


edit (at least the bench looks like it has good choices on it - I just hope there arent any injuries)
 
Really not sure about Jones being a centre half (may well be a good one in the future but not currently)

How exactly would you suggest Jones becomes a good centre half if he never gets to play in that position?

I for one think it looks a great team but what do I know eh
 
The team looks fine provided the defence are okay, Buttner can be a weak link and Jones/Smalling haven't really played much together at centre back.

Great to have Nani and Rooney back though.
